Common Robotic Controller
Abstract
Universal Robotics Control (URC) will provide the common operational software to run specific applications (Apps) for all battalion and below Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS). URC will provide multiple layers of situational awareness while reducing the Soldier's physical and cognitive load as well as the training burden. URC is both backwards compatible with existing Army RAS and forward compatible with emerging Army and Joint RAS. URC will integrate across all RAS programs for interoperability, network transport (radio wave forms), and the larger common Network. URC is a critical enabling capability for NGCV OMFV and RCV programs. PEO Aviation will assess the technology readiness level of Universal Robotics Control (URC) in FY 21 and determine via analysis or prototype the acquisition pathway to fulfill the Capability Requirements outlined in the RAS ICD. The Prototype Demonstration and Data Analysis Framework will help determine if the URC should be a hardware-based program requiring a Capability Development Document (CDD), a software-based program requiring an Information System Capability Development Document (IS-CDD), or a Capability Needs Statement and User Agreement associated with a Software Acquisition Pathway. Will leverage RAS ICD, Navy Common Control System IS ICD, FUAS ICDs, RPUAS CPD, CRS-I CDD, OMFV, etc., will also be used in the analysis. FY 2022 RDTE funding in the amount of $3.614 million will be utilized for Systems Engineering and Program Management (SEPM) support in preparing the Contracts Requirements Package (CRP) for URC. This includes Statement of Work and System Specification preparation, as well as follow up from the FY22 prototype/demonstration and analysis to further shape the acquisition strategy. FY22 funding will also be utilized for risk reduction activities to include using a government or contractor provider to further enhance the prototype product and inform the CRP process.
